Me too. I contemplated whether I need to start my own thread the entire way home from town because I don't want to hijack this one and I need to vent. REALLY BADLY NEED TO VENT.

Maybe I can summarize -- 9:30 a.m. mani/pedi scheduled at local beauty school because I'm cheap. Got there only to be told that I can't have my nails done with a 3mo sleeping in a sling because children need to be supervised.

Ali, I thought you loved me. And then you put gettin' jiggy wit it in my head.

So I drove almost 30 minutes to this appointment (really close to that one hotel, acamp) and had a perfectly timed happy, sleepy baby so I could get my nails done. I had also decided to ask them to trim my hair because they do walk-ins, so I didn't wash it this morning. Because I wasn't going to wash it, I didn't shower because LO was up at 1, 3, 5, 7, and 9 and I didn't really sleep in between. BUT I MADE IT TO THE STUPID APPT.

When they told me LO couldn't come back with me, I said, "awww, they don't like you," and walked away. Then the girl came out to the entryway to tell me that they like my baby, but they have rules. I said I understood, but it just sucks that I can't fucking every get any fucking thing done. Or something along those lines. And then I was crying by the time I got to my car, faced with 30 minutes in the car again and praying the sleepy baby would actually sleep in the car. Broke my heart.

Awwww Chuk, your story just made me teary eyed. I feel the same way lately, like I can't really do anything or get anything done with lo. It's been a tough adjustment for me, I had so much freedom before with my girls being teenagers.

That is really a bummer that they would not just go ahead with the appt, I am sorry <3
